AnvilBoundless

A plugin, which removes the constraints of the anvil and makes the process of combining items more predictable.

🧩 Version Compatibility

Plugin version	Supported Paper	Java
1.1.0	1.21 – 26.2	25
1.0.0	1.21 – 1.21.11	21

Features

• Bypass "Too Expensive!" – Removes the 39-level limit, allowing any items to be combined
• Control Maximum Cost – Customizable repair cost limit
• Preserve Overleveled Enchantments – Protects enchantments above the maximum level from being downgraded during combination

Configuration

After the first run, a config.yml file will be created:

# AnvilBoundless Configuration

# Bypass the "Too expensive!" limitation
bypass-too-expensive: true

# Maximum cost in the anvil (if 0, then unlimited)
max-repair-cost: 39

# Preserve over-maximum level enchantments
keep-overleveled-enchants: true

Configuration Options

• bypass-too-expensive (true/false) – Completely disables the "Too expensive!" limitation
• max-repair-cost (number) – Maximum cost displayed in the anvil (0 = unlimited)
• keep-overleveled-enchants (true/false) – Preserves enchantments above the maximum level during combination

Commands

• /anvilboundless reload – Reloads the plugin configuration (requires the anvilboundless.reload permission)

Permissions

Permission	Description	Default
anvilboundless.reload	Allows reloading the plugin configuration	op

How It Works

Bypassing the "Too Expensive!" Limitation

The plugin automatically sets the maximum repair cost to the highest possible value when the bypass-too-expensive option is enabled. This allows combining items that would normally be unavailable due to the 39-level limit.

Preserving Overleveled Enchantments

If the keep-overleveled-enchants option is enabled, enchantments above the maximum level (obtained through commands or other plugins) retain these levels on the new item. Example:

• Item 1: Sharpness VI enchantment (max level V)
• Item 2: Unbreaking IV enchantment (max level III)
• Result: Sharpness VI and Unbreaking IV
• If the option is disabled: Sharpness VI and Unbreaking III
